Our Team

The AVITAS team is made up of personnel with a broad range of industry experience. Collectively, the group has worked for Commercial Airlines, Aerospace OEMs, Operating Lessors, MROs, and Major Industry Suppliers. Our team have held senior management positions within the aviation industry with disciplines ranging from finance to marketing to operations to maintenance.

The depth of our knowledge is unsurpassed in the aviation consulting environment and thus represents our largest differentiator from other consultancies. We are solutions based in our approach and have found that there is no substitute for industry experience.
